1:21but could there be a world where Maynou goes on loan to Brighton in January, they play together and then they both come to Manchester United in the summer? That would be the dream, wouldn't it? Or would it be? Some people have gone off the idea of Belieber. We're going to talk about that. Roy Keane has had some strong comments of Manchester United and telling them what they should do regarding Adam Wharton. He's another name that is on the list from Manchester United. So many midfielders and Manchester United right now, what they will be doing is planning their summer. This is the time where you start planning your summer.

1:51So these are all going to be players that Manchester United are looking at and beginning to make contacts with. Thomas Tuchel has named Elliot Anderson and Declan Rice as his starting midfielders currently and they need to be displaced. Manchester United, very, very strong links to Elliot Anderson still. Probably only going to sign two, but could there be a possibility that we sign three? And also a little bit more coming in on Casemiro as well, the possibility of him staying. Joshua Zerksi, some more interest from Italy. I've also got another striker to talk about that is on the radar now that I want to bring in a striker that's been doing very very well in the international break and a left back that Manchester United have been looking at as well a left back is being targeted from Germany will bring him in and there's even more Thomas Frank having interviews for the Manchester United job are you happy we didn't go for Thomas Frank do you wish we had have gone for Thomas Frank he had an interview for the Manchester United job.

2:48Eric Ten Hag, when he departed, Thomas Frank could have been the Manchester United manager. Are you happy who went towards Reuben Amarim or would you rather have gone for Thomas Frank? Welcome everybody, we've got so much Manchester United news to get into. I am Beth Tucker and I'm here to give it to you, that news and you get your comments in as well. Sorry for being like 3-3-3 minutes late, literally the roads this morning. absolutely crazy absolutely crazy i set off in so much time and still the traffic was just mental if you're in manchester or i don't know wherever you are maybe the traffic's bad for you right now as well let me know but thank you everyone for getting your comments in stay with us get interactive but let's get in to the first bit of news so it is that cobi maynew is being eyed up by brighton now i spoke about this last week there was murmurs there was murmurs about cobi mainu going to Brighton last week mainly coming out from sources down south around the around the coastline Brighton that is where it was coming from then but now it's just started to get bigger and bigger and bigger and Kobe mainu does sort of strike you as a midfielder that Brighton would be interesting in when I spoke about it early last week I said that for me I think Kobe mainu if it was a permanent move, we'll probably want a club that is going to be competing for European football in the Champions League, potentially.

4:12I think that's where he could see himself. I know he's only young, I know he's only 20, but he has played in a major competition for England, a major final for England. He was a massive part of Manchester United's success in the FA Cup. He was a massive part of Manchester United's side under Eric Tan Haag. Ruben Arim doesn't fancy him, but that automatically doesn't make doesn't make him a bad player sometimes coaches just prefer different attributes from different players so Kobi Maynou I think would probably have his eyes set on a move to a club that can compete in European football but if it was a loan from January until the summer and he's going to get game time then I think he'd absolutely jump at the opportunity I don't know Kobi Maynou I don't know his family I don't know his entourage however the the message that we keep getting is he just wants to play football.

5:02He doesn't want to leave Manchester United. He hopes there's a future at Manchester United but he wants to play football. Brighton is going to get the opportunity. He'd also be playing with Carlos Beliba if we can't get Beliba in January. That could be the best of both worlds for Manchester United because you can see how Manu and Beliba play together. That could be a partnership we want to bring in to Manchester United but also you get to see Maynou actually play Premier League football week in week out and see what he's about he might put himself in in in a position where Ruben Amarim can't ignore him for any longer if he performs how I expect him to perform which is at a really good level could be a great opportunity for him Brighton's not a club that's going to get relegated Brighton's not a club that's also going to be winning the Champions League it's a competitive Premier League club that's fighting for a top 10 finish most years and they're an exciting team they've got some exciting players they play good football I would honestly love to see Kobe Maynou there if it was a loan and I think we should loan him as well I don't know what you guys think I think we should loan him I think I definitely don't want him to go on a permanent I've said it multiple times on the show I feel like a broken record at this point I don't want him to go on a permanent deal because if he did go on a permanent deal, I think we'd be losing out on a huge asset for cheaper than what we could potentially get for him because his value is probably quite low right now in the grand scheme of things because he's not playing football and he's not showing his worth.

6:37He's not really been playing regular football since Ruben Arum came in. So in that aspect, we're not going to get the most amount of money for him. But also, like I've said on multiple shows, he's 20 years old. There's so much more to come from Kami Meno and what he showed in his early parts of his career. I mean, people were talking about him being golden boy, people were putting him in the same category as Pedri and Xhavia. People were talking about him in that way. And suddenly, since Ruben Amrum's come in, he's just barely got a look and he's not been able to get going. So I think you'd be getting way under his value.

7:11I think we've been losing a big asset as well we have no one who can play in that midfield that's as press resistant as he is and can do the things that he does he's got a super high ceiling at 20 years old like bruno fernandez and casemiro they're both over 30 koemeno is 20 20 like he's got so much ahead of him some players haven't even broke through by that point so i wouldn't want to lose him because of that however getting him out on loan to play football is absolutely what this guy needs because he needs to show the world what he's about. Look, I get Manchester United can get injuries, I understand you want to keep a squad, but what's more beneficial for Manchester United?

7:51Kobe Maney playing 10 minutes here and there because we've only got one game a week? Or going out there and getting the opportunity to play games, getting minutes under his belt, getting himself match fit? Because he's probably not even match fit right now. He can do all the training he wants at Carrington but if you're not playing regular football you won't be Matt Sharp going out there and showing what he can do because if Ruben Amarin does decide in the summer he's really just not my type of player I'm sorry guys I know he's doing really good for Brighton but he just doesn't fit the way I want to play a lot of us would be sat here gutted you know he's come through the academy knows exactly what Manchester United is about you need players like that in your team and we all love him the way he plays not I can't speak for everyone but the majority of us love the way he plays when he's firing.

8:38If he does really well and Ruben Amrum just still holds his hands up and says do you know what guys I am sorry but he's just not my type of player. I know he's doing really well at Brighton but I just don't fancy him in that midfield. He doesn't suit my setup. His value has gone like this because he's going out there week in week out in the Premier League and producing. So he's increasing his value even if we do decide to part ways in the summer. but then if he does really well and Ruben Amarim wants to use him that's even better because then Ruben Amarim actually takes a look and he goes I've not been able to play him that much because he's Ruben Amarim has even said himself Cobby Maynew is training and deserves to play more football but he only has one game a week and he doesn't want to take the players out that's currently in the team because he thinks they're doing well so he is even saying himself he wishes he wishes he could play Cobby Maynew more people will say oh he's just saying that to keep him happy or it's just PR but he's said that so I'm going to take it face value his words so if Chloe Maney goes and gets that game time then it could set him up for a really good pre-season I doubt he's going to end up going to England but you never know if he did do really well from January to summer he might go to England so then he gets a full pre-season if he doesn't go to England under his belt with Ruben Amory and with the likes of Bruno potentially departing next season or in the summer with Casemiro we'll get into that soon looking like he's going to depart in the summer United might try and offer him a contract but looks like he's going to depart Colby Mania could be in a situation where his confidence is sky high because he's gone to Brighton he's done really really well on a low move and he's been doing it in the likes of the Premier League where people are watching every single week I know people do watch other leagues but forget whatever plans you have this weekend because you're staying at home and playing on SpinQuest.

Even if the war stops, the real shortages won't. Because of how slow ships move for most of this war, the U.S. was still receiving oil that set sail months ago. But other parts of the world are already feeling it. Asia, Europe, Africa.

11:15That's why prices are rising now, because demand is increasing as supply tightens. But the U.S. is just beginning to experience the real shortage. And even if things stabilize, the ripple effects will last for much, much longer. Oil doesn't just power your car. It powers the systems that make and deliver your medications. And when supply slows, access becomes less predictable. The difference between panic and peace is preparedness with Jace. The Jace case is a doctor-prescribed emergency supply of essential medications and prescription antibiotics delivered right to your door so you're already ready when you need it.

When you are following Manchester United, you are more likely to be watching Premier League football just because Manchester United are playing in the Premier League more regularly. So he's got all eyes on him. His confidence is through the roof. Then we'll get a full pre-season with Ruben Amrum to impress him. And then he could have a real, real shot having a super successful season next season for Manchester United, especially if we end up in Europe. Because if we end up in Europe he will be used he's too good not to use so I think what is better for Kobe Maneu sitting on the bench getting stale not being fully match sharp having 10 minutes to impress here and there where you can't fully get into the game or going out there and showing yourself it's alone he will come back if it is alone I would love it to be alone I don't want to do a permanent I've said that multiple times and then the cherry on top of the cake is is this I mean you never know Manchester United might really push hard to get Carlos Baliba in January I very much doubt Brighton will let that happen because Brian always play hardball and they're really really strong in terms of negotiations and I don't think Manchester United want to go and drop a ridiculous amount of money in January when Baliba has had a bit of a shaky start to the season they want to get his true value and that will be determined at the end of the season hopefully so if Baliba stays at Brighton and then he's playing with Kobe Mane week in week out you've got a situation there where your two potential starting midfielders could be playing together from January until the summer and then Balaba's not going to the World Cup sadly I really I'm gutted for Mbimo because I think he deserves to go and play in a World Cup but he's not going to the World Cup so you could get him in and have a full pre-season.

13:43Kobe Maynou, if he really impresses Thomas Tuchel, might take him but he's got so many midfielders to pick from so with that short amount of time I think he'd struggle to get in. So you could have a situation where your two potential starting midfielders for Manchester United next season have both got a full pre-season under the belt, have already played together for half of the season and got chemistry and that could set Manchester United up really strongly, really nicely in the middle of the pitch to progress into next season. Because how many times do we enter a season where we're not ready, players haven't played together yet, players are coming in late in the window?

14:19If Beliba isn't going to the World Cup, there's no excuse to not get that done early. And then he could have already even played with Manu. And you go into a situation where you have Bruno and Casemiro, who are very good, experienced players, but are slowing down a little bit now. Although Bruno was fantastic in the international break. And Casemiro's been really good this season, but they are slowing down. they're not going to be able to do it forever both over 30 passing the baton on to a mainu and a belaber who are both in their young 20s but have a really good opportunity to go and have a successful season from the start because of all of the preparation that's gone into it my dad has always said this to me and i stand by it now fail to prepare prepare to fail Manu and Beliebler have been fully prepared if all of them steps that I've just spoken about happen and I think that is what I'd be pitching to Manchester United now if I was there, I'd be saying look it's a lot of ifs and buts because Manu has to perform but Herschel has to play Manu and Beliebler together loads of things have to happen for this to work but what's worth it more to you?

15:30Having a bit of depth that Amorim has basically made it quite clear that Kobe Maynou is his last choice midfielder currently. He said he'd play Mason Mountner. We've got one game a week. Our injury record's been quite good throughout the season. If it was me, I'd be playing Maynou more. But Amorim has made it clear through his substitutions that Maynou literally is right now his last choice midfielder. Get him out there, playing football, and you could be set up in a really nice position for next season. Not every player at 20 years old

16:03is the finished product. Manu had a really good breakout onto the senior 18, but Amrim's maybe brought him back down to earth a little bit, made him work really hard. This loan could be the making of him. And then Amrim has shown you always get an opportunity. Casemiro was behind Toby Collier. Amrim's words himself. Behind Toby Collier that had just come through the academy, right, into the first team. He was playing a bit of football under Ten Hag, but not too regular. And Casemiro, who has won multiple Champions League, been one of the best CDMs that we've ever seen in the game, and has won everything at Real Madrid, has just got a star-studded career and a huge trophy cabinet that his wife has literally showed off on her story when she was trying to defend him when he was playing poorly for Manchester United.

16:51Amrim said he was behind Toby Collier. Now I would argue Casemiro is one of the first names on the team sheet for this season. so you always get an opportunity under Ruben Amarim so Manu's got to remember that Amarim showed that he's made an example of Casemiro you know a serious serious pro he's made an example of and he's shown to everybody you don't think you've got a chance Casemiro was behind Toby Collier you've got a chance so if Colin Manu goes out there and smashes it I could seriously see him being one of the starting midfielders for Manchester United next season but Manchester United have got allow him to go.

17:26I know Amory might not want him to go because as a manager you always want the most amount of options, you always want depth just in case of injuries or anything like that but I think United should take that risk and I think they should let him go and play football, bring him back, bring Belieber back in the summer and you know it could be really good for Manchester United. That is if Belieber picks up form as well, there's a lot of different factors in this but get your thoughts down in the comments what you think, I'm going to come to the comments now because I really want to know what you guys are thinking on this I've just gone absolutely off on one there but I read that this morning and I thought may no one believe we're playing together hello yes a bit of that so let me know what you think uh we've got quite a few comments coming in a few people wondering where Goldbridge is as well Goldbridge is is a heading off on his holidays so he's having a little bit of a break he'll still be doing shows here and there but he's on his holidays and I think it's very well deserved the money that he raised for charity the weekend just absolutely phenomenal thank you to everybody who was involved on that streaming for 12 hours across the united stand and that's football it was just fantastic to to to witness that and it happens every year so i think a well-deserved break after raising all that money for for a brilliant cause uh you've got ian trace saying maynu needs regular football if we loaned him i'd be tempted to recall toby collier he doesn't have may use potential but he would give depth uh with that i wouldn't be recalling toby collier is doing pretty good so i i i wouldn't be recalling him i think we've got enough and we've got ugarte there you've got mount who can play there uh we're playing one game a week you've got you've got to recognize we are playing one game a week bruno fernandez literally never ever ever gets injured so for me it would be uh it would be a no on recalling toby collier uh we've got justin law lord saying over hyping cobbie he had a great year with ericton hyde did well for england and he got burned out relying on kids is crazy work we need players that are ready now which is why i'd say i'd send him on loan and then bring him back when he's done that work so that's yeah some people maybe don't think he's he's got the capabilities and he maybe just had a good year but i really don't think you can write a player off that has done what he did at that age and is consistently impressed in training and was consistently spoken about as being one of the best academy products to come out of Carrington in a long time so I wouldn't write him off.

19:57Smash the like on the video everyone, let me know your thoughts though, everyone's entitled to their own opinion and I want to move on to more midfielders, actually no I want to bring in this first about Belieber from Fabrizio Romano, actually I want to run a poll on this, would Belieber still be your first choice midfielder for the summer yes or no i want to run a poll would believer still be your first choice midfielder for the summer yes or no i want to know what people are thinking and feeling about that so fabrizio has said this it was august here on the channel i told you manchester united wants carlos beliba beliba wants to go to manchester united the conversation with the players and agents was very good but at brighton at that time in august they didn't want to sell the player In January, it's likely to be a difficult deal, the Belieber one, because Brighton insist on not selling the player.

20:46But for the summer, unless the stance changes for January, we have to see what happens. But for the summer, let's say for 2026, Manchester United for sure will see Carlos Belieber as a priority target. I gave you a video last summer saying Belieber will remain a target if the deal doesn't happen now. and Man United want to insist on a deal in 2026. And that remains the case. Man United still want Belieber. Belieber is still very keen on a move to Manchester United, even more so now they are doing very well in the Premier League. So Belieber wanted to come to Manchester United even when we weren't in Europe.

21:27Now he's even more excited, according to Fabrizio, because it looks like we're doing better and we could be fighting for a European place, even a Champions League place, where we are in the league at the moment. It's very, very open and five games unbeaten, we're doing pretty well. Still early days, but he's even more excited. Man United are still persisting. And I don't know how I feel about this, to be honest, because I won't spend too long on this because we've got so much more to get into. but last year I would have been all over this like there's no tomorrow. I would have been all over this like an ice cold, an ice cold, I was going to say, do you know what?

22:09I'll say it, an ice cold cider on a warm summer's day in a beer garden. Love it. I would be all over it because Belieber was fantastic, fantastic. but this season there has been a few red flags that have creeped into my mind. Are you able to... What's going on everyone?

Sustain the weight of a United shirt when you put it on because you will get criticized every week if you don't perform. and it will be headlines all over you'll be spoken about in the media the fans will be talking about you it's huge if you do really well the same thing will happen you will get praise left right and center you'll be held up on a pedestal as being one of the best midfielders in the world and everyone will love you that's what mantis united does it's it's hated hated adored never ignored it's it's extremism because we're so big when things are going badly there'll be a massive magnifying glass on you when you're doing really well you'll be held up high so can you sustain that pressure because you didn't get your move in the summer and suddenly you know the player is unrecognizable in my opinion from where he was I know he's young but that is a little bit of a red flag and for everyone saying oh Maynou just had a good year did did Bleyber just have a good year last year and he wasn't even doing what the likes of Maynou was doing and Maynou was was was was on a different planet when he first came onto the scene and was doing what he did for for for eric so for me they are a few doubts however man united clearly are staying strong on this and they feel like they've scouted the right player for amram they want to continue on that and i think part of me is probably thinking to themselves we could even get him for a bit cheaper you know he's not playing really well right now there's not loads of interest in him like what other club have been linked to him apart from Manchester United right now and currently Brighton might not be able to hold out on 100 million if he doesn't have the best season and that's a rare twisted way to think about it because surely United will want him in his best possible form if we do sign him and want him to be playing really well but if that does happen and he if he had the same year that he had last year, I think there'd be multiple top clubs queuing up for him, which would put Manchester United in a bit of a more difficult position.

26:00And I also think the price would be absolutely nowhere under£100 million, because Brighton will hold firm on that. They did it with Caicedo and they got the money. They usually always get the money. But if he keeps going on the way he is, up and down, up and down, I don't think Brighton can demand£100 million and I don't think there'll be a massive queue. so United might be thinking about it let's just get him in and we we can get him back to how he was so we can get him to where he was last season and some they might be thinking about like that it's a risky game to play though a really risky game to play the good thing is though is if we do decide to pursue it the groundwork is there say if Belaba and and it's quite clever from United because if Belaba suddenly turns back into what he was doing last season and starts absolutely smashing it week in week out it's the Belieber show everyone's talking about him look at how good this kid is for Brighton he's finally got his form back from last season he's a star and other clubs start coming into the forefront and Belieber is a hot topic going into the summer United can be like look we pitched you in the summer we were ready to buy you then even at the start of the season when you weren't doing that well we we held firm our interest was still there you are still our number one priority you've always been our number one priority through the good and the bad we are here we're at the front of the queue and we we want you and that could really persuade a player you know even when I was doing Paul at the start of the season you still wanted me and you still trusted me to come through that process so football can change very quickly Belieber has a few good games and again everyone's talking about him as being the next best midfielder so united quite clever in this we want you we want you we've always wanted you in the summer when when you go for him the player will remember that loyalty and and and the amount that you've wanted him and they'll remember them conversations from the until now and they'll remember that commitment and and if we're not in as good as a position as another club he might come to the to the queue to try and get him belaba might remember that from Manchester United and pick us also if that if he if he has a poor season United change their mind it's no big deal he's not put pen to paper you've not signed a contract you know you've not gone and paid the money so you're just keeping the player where you want them and I think it's quite clever from Manchester United to kind of brief that out there to be honest with you but get your votes in the poll is Believer still your first choice midfielder for the summer he was my first choice I am with you guys now 72 % are saying no because Elliot Anderson is my first choice I can't ignore him I cannot ignore Elliot Anderson I mean there's no fresh fresh fresh update on Anderson but I just want to reiterate like I do on every show he's my top choice midfielder so good him and Stiller and I can see a lot of comments seeing in Stiller and Anderson Stiller and Anderson they would be a fantastic pairing to to bring in in the summer because Stiller would sort of take over the Bruno Fernandes role and Elliot Anderson would take over the Casemiro role but is actually in my opinion better on the ball they would be a great partnership together in the midfield I think still are obviously more possession based not exactly like that warrior that's in the middle of the park but really press resistant can read the game really well brilliant passing and Anderson has also got really good passing always looking forward can contributing the attacking third just the way like Casemiro contributes in attacking third but he's all over the pitch tackling breaking play up his anticipation is brilliant is fantastic his sense of where the danger is going to be his football intelligence is just top-notch so anticipation so them two would be a really really really good pair for our midfield I think but we could well be in a situation where it is belaboring Mainu or it is belaboring Stiller or is Belieber and someone else because currently as per Fabrizio Romano who he's really really really read up on this deal and knows a lot about it I would I would trust him when it comes to the Belieber deal he seems to be pushing that he's still Manchester United's top target so we've got to prepare ourselves for that and a lot of people would be absolutely loving that in the summer so let's see how the rest of the season goes hopefully Belieber can pick up some form and and we'll see where we're at but there's a lot of midfield options which is a positive In a summer where United will need two or three midfielders, the list is as long as your arm.

30:19Beth: Balaba, Anderson, Stille, Wharton and there's more which I'm going to bring in now. So that brings me on to my next topic and that is about Casemiro's replacement. So Manchester United are now on the hunt for a replacement for Casemiro and have identified Real Madrid's Shu Uemini as their preferred option. Casemiro is unlikely to accept Manchester United's offer of a new contract with a drastic salary reduction and therefore United are in the market accessing the possibilities. So this is coming out from Spanish sources, Defence Central, and they are saying that Casemiro is unlikely to accept United's offer of a reduced contract on reduced wages and that they are now prioritising his replacement with Shu Amini being on their radar and being a target for them as an option.

31:11So I've named all the options we were already looking at. Add Shu Amini to that list. Where does he rank in them options for me? And it's difficult because I would categorise this into two categories. You've got the potential Bruno replacement and then the potential Casemiro replacement. And this is where I think we're at with our midfield. I think we need two Casemiro replacements because Casemiro is that important right and Carlo Ancelotti has been speaking on Casemiro as well in the international break and he said Casemiro is the most important player for the team's balance

31:48Beth: he's very tactically intelligent he shows great leadership and he is an important player for us so he's the Brazil national coach Carlo Ancelotti one of the best managers that I've witnessed in my lifetime and when he speaks saying that Casemiro is one of the most important players on the pitch actually he said is the most important player for the team's balance i uh i'm gonna look at that and i'm gonna take that and i'm gonna i'm gonna listen to it and i'm gonna trust my gut instinct as well which i've been talking about for the last few weeks that casemiro is probably our most important player right now or one of them him and mbimo are up there but mbimo is absolutely one of our most players but with casemiro's role nobody can play it out nobody nobody in in the squad apart from Casemiro can play the role the way he does nobody and no one can really do what Brian and BMO does but we've got other options in the front line without Casemiro you just can't hold the midfield together so that is why I think we need two Casemiro replacements for Amram's system specifically where it is a two-man midfield your Casemiro type player in that in that setup has to be absolutely top quality he has to be able to do everything he's got to be press resistant he's got to be able to take the ball off the back three he's got to be able to drive up the pitch he's got to be able to read the game he's got to be able to intercept and start transitions he's got to be able to go and mop up danger he's got to go and cover for bruno fernandez if bruno fernandez is still playing because he likes to roam a little bit you've got to be able to do everything also you'd like a little bit of height in there considering you know the height of our team you would like a bit high in there it's not to be on end all but you would like it so I think we need two Casemiro placements because of how important he is.

33:32Ugarte, I'm sorry right now, I just don't think he's going to be able to be good enough. I hope Ugarte changes my mind from now until the end of the season. But if you want my honest opinion, I don't think Ugarte will be able to start in United's midfield this time next year and do a job of the way that Casemiro does or better. And we need that level at least. So, hey, everybody, Lady Luck here, and we're celebrating America's 250th birthday.

35:24Ugarte I've kind of ruled out for now hopefully changes my mind and then past that we've got nobody else so if Casemiro does go and there was strong rumors that United were going to offer him a contract on a reduced salary from this source it looks like he's going to reject that which means he'll probably go United certainly aren't going to pay him 350 grand a week under Ineos it's just not going to happen and we shouldn't do that. As good as Casemiro is for us this season and as important he is going to be throughout the season, where he's at in his career, there's no way United should be paying him £350 ,000 a week to be a player that plays 60 minutes a week next season.

35:56It just shouldn't be the case. So if he doesn't take the reduced terms, we're going to have to look for a replacement and I think you need cover. You need one that's going to be an absolute starter and you need somebody that's really close to being a starter and competing for that spot. so and then you've also got the Bruno Fernandes role which is really difficult for United to assess right now because Bruno has said he will think about his future after the World Cup well that's in July so United are like are you staying are you going should we prepare for you to go should we prepare for you to stay because Ruben Arian himself has said if we get European football next season Bruno Fernandes has got to be prepared for rotation which makes me think we are going to look at least one Bruno competitor I would say and if Bruno leaves then a Bruno replacement so you've got the Casemiro role you've got the Bruno role and both of them look like Casemiro I think will go and I think Bruno's like 50-50 right now so United are really trying to kind of overhaul that midfield and the reason why I think we only need one for Bruno is because one Bruno might stay if he doesn't stay excellent competition but if he does go you have got Kobe Meynou who I think can play that role and he's been waiting to play that role and his competition is Bruno who never gets dropped he's the captain and is fit for every single game so you've got Meynou and potentially whoever else you bring in for the Bruno role and even Bruno himself and then for Casemiro's position you've got to sign two because there is nobody else who can do it the way he does so I mean a lot of people saying they agree that you have to play two but then there's also some people saying Sekou Kone Sekou Kone now Sekou Kone was brought into the academy by Christopher Vervell to potentially be a Casemiro successor however do we want to go into next season by the way Sekou Kone is 19 years old and he had an injury as well which kept him out for a bit do you really want to go into next season with European football with one Casemiro placement god forbid they get injured let's say let's hope this doesn't happen but say you go and sign like Elliot Anderson don't want it to happen at all and then first game of the season or first game after the transfer window closes he tears his ACL or something God forbid don't want it to happen but it happens in football sometimes and then you've got to rely on 19 year old Saki Kone to actually be 20 by that stage 20 year old Saki Kone who hasn't had a minute in the Premier League to get you through a season it's just it's too much pressure on a on a younger player and there's talks about him going on loan to one of the inios clubs as well uh i can't remember the name of it you guys will know uh i think it's a is it a you guys will know it put it in the put it put it in the comments the the club that the club that inios is involved with they want to send him out on loan there so i think sekukone will go on loan he will develop and then when he gets to like 21 i see him being integrated into the first team and you know what he might not ever get into the first team i hope he does but sometimes you bring players in they go out on loan they increase the value and then you sell them on for more money and then you've made money that goes back into the transfer kitty because that's what clubs do not every single young player that you buy into the academy makes it i hope he does make it i know he's got a lot of talent i know he's really well thought of in the academy but he might not so let's not put loads of pressure on second kone let him go out on loan, go and prove himself, then integrate him back in and you're not in a situation where when you're playing hopefully European football and Premier League football you're asking an Elliot Anderson or a Belaba or whatever player we bring in to do 90 minutes, two games a week, never get injured, never be off at the highest possible level.

39:38You need two Casemiro replacements. We could do with two Casemiro's this year and we're playing one game a week. I personally think we have dropped points this season because Casemiro's had to come off because of yellow cards or for fatigue or injury so we're playing one game a week and I think we're suffering next year we need two and I will I would die on that hill I really do think we need two Casemiro replacements so and on to Shu Amini whether I think he'd be a good option I mean before Shu Amini went to Madrid I really wanted him and in the early days of his is of his Real Madrid career I thought he was fantastic and I think he's had fantastic spells he's not always been at the level I expected him to be his whole time at Real Madrid however I do think there is a fantastic player in there

40:28Beth: he can play multiple positions he's played for one of if not the biggest club in the world so he knows the pressure that is on him he's 25 years old which I think is the perfect age to bring a player in he fits into that Brian Mbumo, Mateus Cunha category where they've been around the block they've got some experience have played good football and they're now coming into their prime years where they're going to take it up to the next level I mean Shu Amini's you know he's won what he's won at Real Madrid I mean that experience to have it 25 years old would be great to bring into Manchester United.

41:11I mean, Casemiro's going, so you bring in another player with a lot of experience of winning big, big trophies, of high-pressure situations, can bring leadership into the dressing room. However, this player is 25. Imagine if we would have bought Casemiro at 25 from Real Madrid. Now, I don't think Shu Uemini is at Casemiro's level when he was 25. however Shu Uemini absolutely is a good player and I would welcome him with opening arms at Manchester United I think he could be a fantastic signing I really do at his age he's 25 he's about to go into his prime and he can play multiple positions which I know Ruben Amorim really really likes I don't think Madrid would sell him to us but you never know they might do they're always in the market for new up-and-coming players.

42:05He has had a few, I think, foot injuries. Are they foot injuries? Which maybe are a slight concern. But we seem to have got injuries under control at Manchester United really well. When we're in European football, that might change. Potentially one game a week certainly does help. But I think for where Shu Uemini's at in his career, I would love to take that chance and bring him in. I think he offers prime age going into the best years of his career with tons of experience and trophies behind him. I think that would suit this Manchester United squad right now.

42:42Beth: The only thing is, is the injury situation, which a few of you have brought up in the comments as well, which I'd have to look into in more detail. I'm just going to get up his injury history and we can maybe circle back to it once I've got through everything else in the show. So let me bring it up. Transfer market. Or maybe I should just do it now. Injury history. so from where where does it go so let's say from 2023 2023 to 2024 he had a fatigue fracture which kept him out for 48 days not great uh 23 24 foot injury 22 days it was it was full i was right 24 25 foot injury 15 days at 24 25 ankle sprain 27 days and then currently he is actually been at he's sorry in 2020 yeah in 2025 he is got a hamstring injury so quite a few games missed there in the last few years but mainly hamstring can happen to anyone really as long as it's just a strain it's not something you should worry about too much if it was a big hamstring injury then then I would say avoid once that hamstring fully goes it's really really hard to kind of bounce back from that without getting injured again on a consistent basis but the foot injury foot injury foot injury ankle sprain is a little bit of a concern and that's why the comments are here the community has brought that up so he does fall into that injury prone category see i was just straight off the bat i was there for shu amini like because of everything he can what i've explained what everything can offer but now the community has brought up that reoccurring injury especially in the foot that's worrying that's worrying so I would I would maybe you know put him further down the list I mean if some if people want to comment their list of midfielders I would love to see what your list is from top to bottom you know does it go Anderson then Wharton still is a little bit different for me still it does move more into that Bruno Fernandes category of type of player but it's still a really good option but let's throw him in there if you could rank from you know Anderson, Stiller, Belieber, Shuamini add him into the list, Wharton how would you rank it?

This season, as much as I get so excited for the Premier League game, that drag between the Premier League game to the next Premier League game, because we don't have European football, I just love watching United play football.

46:28If we were playing a friendly in Saudi I'd be there tuned in from minute one. Even before I was on the United stand I used to get up at whatever time to watch the US tour. Pre-season didn't mean anything, I just love watching United play so no I wouldn't because I miss United playing as much football as he did so I wouldn't do that also this narrative about Luke Shaw yes it was really frustrating he didn't play for United and went and got injured for England but he does not just get himself fit if England are playing in a major tournament that doesn't happen it doesn't happen because one he would have been found out by now at Manchester United by the injury by the injury by the medical team and for number two if his plan was to stay injured all season long for United and then suddenly be back fit for England do you not think he would have been back fit for United maybe two weeks before the end of the season three weeks before the end of the season so he could have you know got minutes in his legs got Matt Sharp been ready for the first England game because gareth southgate knew he was taking him anyway they'd have them conversations or would you think he would have not even played the group stages played i think he played the semi-final half injured and then played the final and got injured again because he wasn't quite ready that bit i disagree with yes okay he did risk it he risked it of the potential of playing in a game where England could have won a major trophy he did risk it however he did not fake injury all season just to be fit for England he shouldn't have probably played for England because if he was doing that he would have played for England all throughout the groups all throughout the quarter semi-finals he got back fit for the semi-final and I don't even think he played the full game and he played the final and yeah he got injured and it was a detriment to Manchester United which is so frustrating for us but I ask you this question if you had this opportunity to play in a world cup or euros final and maybe you could feel a slight tweak but but you think you could do it would you do it would you do it I'm not excusing him but he didn't get himself fit just to play for England it might have been a motivation but there was no conspiracy behind that and it's I don't even think he's going to go to England for the World Cup is he Thomas Tuchel's not picked him by the way if I was England manager I would pick him because because he's that good and he can play multiple positions I'm quite happy Tuchel isn't picking him because it means he stays fit for United and we need him fit for United I don't even think Tuchel's going to pick him I don't think he's on his radar and he's still fit week in week out so I think some people are a bit harsh on Luke Shaw I tell you something if Luke Shaw would have gone and trained with England instead of training with United this week, people would have absolutely rinsed him.

49:28Rinsed him. But Lysandreo Martinez has been out for how many months? Feels like a year now, nearly a year. He's gone training with Argentina and nobody's bothered. I'm not even bothered. I'm genuinely not. If he's doing intense training, if he doesn't get injured and it makes him more match fit, fine by me. But if there's anything in that that could make him delay his return or set him back, then I would be against it. But if United's medical team have signed it off right okay but I'm just saying there is double standards in the fan base sometimes on that note Tom Grant says hi Beth I'm excited to get Martinez back this week Durand says hi Beth what do you think about the rumours that Vitek can be number two to Lamins next season to be our goalkeepers options Vitek is doing a great job now I do sometimes get concerned when you've got two keepers of very similar levels competing with each other to be the number one goalkeeper I think you do need a number one and a number two personally I think that you need someone to know they've got the faith of being the number one and know you're the number two you'll step in when we need you thank you very much sometimes when two people can be in it puts more pressure on you and you don't get the best out of it only when it comes to a goalkeeper every other position on the pitch absolutely there should be competition but for a goalkeeper I think you need the trust of your manager to be number one for a sustained period of time of course if you're doing an own ana and if you're basically chucking the ball in the back of your own net you're going to get taken out of goal but Vitek is doing really well I wanted to bring him bring him back before we even got Sonny Lamans in I was thinking Vitek was on the radar to someone we could use I would I would absolutely be open to exploring it let's see how Sonny Lamans does if Sonny Lamans absolutely solidifies himself as number one between now and this end of the season I think Vitek could struggle getting in uh so let's see how he does but it's definitely an option and i think he's always been ignored it's whether vitek would want to be number two for the time being remember you're like how good was romero as a number two like that's the number two you want but it's so hard to come by these days because you know everyone wants to play which is understandable if i was a keeper i'd want to play i'd rather if i was a keeper i'd rather play for a team that's maybe not as competitive but i'm playing week in week out unless it was united and then maybe be I'd consider it tell you what towards the end of my career I'd absolutely love Tom Heaton's job Tom Heaton I would love it and he's earned the right by the way he's had a he's had a good career Tom Heaton but I'd love that job senior leadership team um basically like a manager in the dressing room you know going like being in and around it all but you know there's not really too much pressure on you and you've it's not as if he's not played the game he's played the game He's earned his respect.

52:14He's gone out there. He's played in good competitions. He's played Premier League football. What a job, eh? What a job. Anyway, last things I want to get into. There's so much more to talk about. We might have to speak about some of it on the 2pm show, everyone,

52:27Beth: because there's that much. This is coming out about Joshua Zerkesi. AS Roma are now in discussions with Manchester United over a January deal for Joshua Zerkesi with the window edging ever closer. the deal will include an option to buy for the Netherlands forward at the end of the 25-26 season for€35m which works out at£31m. Now I find this extremely interesting. The reason being is, so far on the Joshua Zerksy transfer saga for the January window, we've got a situation where

53:07Beth: Joshua Zerksi didn't want to leave United but he wants to play minutes because he wants to get into the World Cup squad Joshua Zerksi then becomes increasingly frustrated with his amount of game time he's pushing for a move in January he wants ideally a loan but he would do a permanent just because he wants to play football and Man United have said absolutely not, you're not going anywhere for one we still don't know how serious Sesco's injury is that could be a factor in not letting Joshua Zerksy go and for two we want to have a bit of depth what happens if Kuna gets injured what happens if Sesko gets injured for a long period of time we want to have a striker slash number 10 there to use so United's point of view and this was reported back end of last week from Samuel Luckhurst actually that Manchester United have said there is no way they've said to Joshua Zerksy there is no way that you are leaving on loan in January.

54:03Beth: It's just not happening. And Joshua Zerkesy wants a loan because he wants to fight for his spot, but he wants to play football to get into the Neverland squad, which I think he's got a big task on his hands, to be honest. But it's not against the odds. So that is where we're at now. Then this news comes out. And it's an interesting point because it's not a straight loan, is it? And this might tempt Manchester United. The deal will include an option to buy€35 million, which works out it's 31 million pounds i think if you said to manchester united you could get 31 million pounds back for joshua zirksy they'd probably take it they'd probably take it i mean how much did united pay for joshua zirksy let me just go and have a look joshua zirksy transfer fee to united i think it was around 30 odd million okay so they paid 36.5 million for joshua zirksy would they take 31 mil maybe they would if it was if it was absolutely certain it was coming in and it was paid in the right way maybe they would so it could maybe tempt united a little bit but i think anthony in the chat has made a really good opinion option to buy means nothing it's not an obligation with rasmus holland's like they are going to trigger that i think it was obligation to buy if they get champions league football european football something like that there's so many different clauses but it's basically nailed on that Rasmus is gonna have that triggered and he's gonna go this one I mean there's not too many details but option to buy is is very tricky depending on how it works like for example Barcelona do not have to buy Rashford uh and with what's up everybody it's Bretzky and America is turning 250 and I can't think of a better way to celebrate that than playing on an American-owned social casino, spinquest.com.

56:49Beth: With Joshua Zerksy, I suspect this deal with Aos Roma is not the obligation of you have to pay 31 million. So I think United will keep Joshua Zerksy. Also, a lot of people are talking about AFCON as well. And with AFCON, I'm dreading it. I'm really dreading it. 21st December to Sunday, the 18th of January. I don't think they'll want to let him leave because I think they'll want to play him throughout that competition. especially you know with with with Ahmad playing there uh with Mazraoui potentially playing there I know he's not I know he's not a forward player and and Bumo as well like we've got players that will be going to AFCON that we will really really miss so I don't think we'll let Joshua Zerzi go but it's something that keeps coming up and Roma absolutely are interested they've been interested for a long time now so keep an eye on it would you want Joshua Zerzi to stay or would you want to keep him let's actually run that poll for the last five minutes of the show keep Xerxes let him go on loan I want to see what you guys think I'd keep him and this is going to be really hypocritical and slash contradicts here about what I said about Kobe Manu the reason I keep Xerxes because with Manu's position I generally just don't see him getting much game time unless there's a series injury with Xerxes I actually think there is a really good player in there and he's and he's being overlooked sesco isn't absolutely nailed on yet who knows what his injury length is like and boomo's going to be going to afcon we don't know how long for amad's been going to go into afcon we don't know how long for i think their teams actually do play each other ivra coast and cameron play play each other but i'll keep zirce because i think there's a genuine chance that he could fight his way into being a player that's playing regularly every week in the team whether that's as a starter or absolutely having minutes off the bench and I think he can bring something to our team that nobody else can I think that facilitating number nine could really benefit us in certain games especially again Mount Mount does that job really well but Mount's got an injury record that isn't great so you can't rely on him and you know you've got players that that AFCON is going to hit us I'd keep Xerxes I would but let me know he won't benefit from it so I feel bad I feel bad on him because I want him to go out there again and show everyone what he can do because I genuinely do believe there's a really good player in there with him and he's still really young as well I talk about this all the time Joshua Zerkesy I don't think he's got enough time at United he's 24 he came in Senna got sacked then he worked his way into being one of our most important players back in the last season I understand we came 15th but I actually think him being injured probably cost us the Europa League final definitely a contributing factor and then suddenly we're buying a new striker and he's absolutely pushed out in the cold and barely got any time to prove himself he's had no time to prove himself in a decent team you know we've got Kuno we've got Mbimo playing you've got Casemiro and Bruno who aren't always 10 out of 10 but are settled with each other and he's barely getting a sniff I would love to see him get a bit of time in this team I really would um so yeah that's I'd like to keep him but let me know your thoughts last thing I want to bring in is about I mean some of this I am actually gonna have to speak about in the 2 p.m because there's just so much more to get into well good news because more news will come out and then we'll have more to talk about and we can we can keep the conversation going what should I finish this show on Keane's have a little vote in the chat now Keane's comments on Wharton or the Thomas Frank stuff about him getting the United job before Amorim I've also got the striker stuff to bring in as well got some striker news wow i've just been going on and on and on this morning clearly had a lot to speak about it's honestly people say the international break there's not much to talk about but i actually think there's been quite a lot this this international break and when you're missing football you find yourself thinking maybe more deeply about the situation and how things are going to improve on that um savage says i don't think we'll get forward and get a forward in january so zerkz is still better than nothing um right roy keen we'll finish off with the roy keen stuff so roy keen has said this about adam wharton he said i do like adam wharton a lot of modern midfielders their first option seems to be can i go sideways or backwards what i like about him the first option seems to be can I um oh one sec guys I've just clicked off let me redo that quote here we go Roy Keane and Adam Wharton just deleted and then I had to undo it but we're back Roy Keane's comments on Adam Wharton I do like Adam Wharton and what of the modern midfielders their first option seems to be can I go sideways or backwards what I like about him the first option he seems to look at is can I pass it forward and that's a big strength to have this is where he can mature over the next year or two if he's playing at the top level put demands onto people he's a bit soft there he needs to show it please and go give me the ball that's what I used to do I used to fall out with people a lot give me the ball put demands on your teammates he's still new to it so I'm not going to be too harsh on him but as he matures and starts playing more games he needs to put demands on his teammates and I think that's a huge huge compliment from Roy Keane to Adam Wharton because Roy Keane's basically there saying look Adam Wharton this is what I used to do and I think you should do it as well you've got a lot going for you but you need to put a bit more pressure on your teammates you need to demand the ball more you need to be a bit more authoritative in the middle of the park which I see from an outsider looking in is Roy Keane being like I see a bit of me in you I see a bit of myself in you and that's a really really big compliment from Roy Keane I'm not seeing Adam Wharton as the next Roy Keane I do think they have very different personalities but for Roy Keane to sound out Adam Wharton give him that advice and kind of speak about himself when speaking about Adam Wharton and his days as a player I think is a huge huge compliment and Roy Keane seeing that and calling that out, I think it puts him in good stead.

1:03:07Beth: Pundits don't always get everything right, but Roy Keane knows a good midfielder. Roy Keane knows a good midfielder. He knows good characteristics. And I do agree with him on what he said there about Adam Wharton. I do think he needs to be a bit more authoritative. He seems like a very shy character, but wow, can he play football? It's like having a Spanish midfielder on the pitch. You know, he's got that technique that Spanish players do, like ticker-tacker over and over. he can get out of tight situations he's always looking forward he can thread passes through the eye of the needle and his positional discipline is really good as well he's great taking the ball off the back four the back three and and and getting you from the defensive third to the attacking third I really like him and I think Roy Keane paying respect to him like that shows what top top talent he is what I would also say is Elliot Anderson has that about him as well when he says a lot of modern midfielders their first option seems to be can I go sideways can I go backwards that does seem to happen but Adam Wharton and Elliot Anderson both tick this box they both look forward now with pressure at Manchester United you might hesitate a little bit more to do that you don't want to play a risky pass and then be counter-attacked on and everyone's looking back at you but I like that these two players both have the confidence right now to play their game and I would if I was Amrum and they were coming into Manchester United whichever one we go for if any of them I would be saying that's why we've bought you don't let the pressure of Old Trafford don't let the pressure of the shirt change your game keep playing forward obviously don't be playing a risky pass every single time and getting us into trouble but they are so good at finding the shirt that they're playing in say if they're playing in a red shirt they'd be so good at finding a red shirt they're always looking forward always breaking the lines and for a midfielder especially a deep line midfielder it's quite a rare strength to have in modern football, like Roy Keane says.

1:04:56Beth: That's why both of them are really, really high on our radar, I feel like, because United needs a player like that. Casemiro does it. He doesn't always do it 100%, but they do it more accurately. Get the ball, give it forward, quickly break the lines, and it really helps get your team up the pitch and create openings in the space. So I like that Roy Keane's kind of sounded that out for Manchester United, and I have to say I do agree with him. Runt McCormack says, People didn't want to believe we interviewed Southgate. yeah uh southgate is was absolutely high on our agenda and if anything happened to reuben amarin apparently was still high on the agenda so we didn't make that up as much as people wanted to say the united stand made that up we absolutely didn't he was one of the names being scouted out but we've got reuben amarin now and i hope reuben amarin can stay here for i hope he stays here for 20 years i hope we're that successful if we're successful uh so let's let's build with him there was some rumors about thomas frank that i might speak about on the 2 p.m but uh yeah we did we did uh speak to southgate for sure i don't know if we actually fully fully interviewed him but we definitely spoke to him justin jaw thank you for your super chat thank you everyone for getting your comments involved just on the zerk seat go out on loan keep or loan let's see what you guys have said there 54 of you said loan so so it's interesting actually my earpiece telling me when I'm going live or not it's falling out um it's interesting actually because on the copy menu one uh sorry not on the copy menu one on the belieber one we all kind of agreed but on this one I said I'd keep him selfishly 46 54 of you would let him go out on loan so you know that is the that is that is a community sometimes we agree sometimes we disagree and some of you want to see him go and play football fair enough I can understand that point of view because he'd probably be quite happy with that vote uh doobie guy says southgate was the oblivious choice for United, terrible and wrong choice but that's the one that our board would always make but we didn't make that choice and I'm glad we didn't.

1:06:53Ruben Amorim's personality is just so different to Southgate's and Ruben Amorim's personality is what makes me believe in him and I can't wait, we've got something so exciting coming soon and I don't know how much I can give away but there's questions about Amorim in that and everyone has to answer really truthfully and I can't wait for you all to see it, it's going to be cracking, it really is and a couple people mentioning Mark Gahey I mean that's another one that we could talk about as well going on a free transfer United need to be in there when we're looking at a left-sided centre-back but that's for another day look so much to talk about smash a like on the video if you've not already I just want to say once again a big thank you for everyone being involved with the charity stream over the weekend that Goldberg did fantastic hope he has a brilliant time in New York City so he will pop in here and there but he's having a little break and he's very well deserved and as well as well make sure Christmas jumpers link in the description Goldbridge is doing his own home alone style in New York we can get Christmasy here on the United stand with your Christmas jumper shop the link in the description tell you what I'd left my Christmas jumper in the studio when I opened my door this morning to leave the house and get in the car I wish I had it on because it was freezing and it's so nice and warm and we can all be part of that community together getting excited for Christmas can't wait to actually put the decorations up when do you think we should get the decorations up in the studio let me know let me know because we need to we need to get the christmas decks up and i can't wait to christmas fi the whole place but thank you everyone first of december says admin i think before then i think before then maybe we'll run a poll on it on the afternoon show thank you stay tuned more news will be out on the 2pm show and i'll see you on the next one have a good monday

Here's something nobody talks about when designing a home office. Why is it so easy to find a beautiful sofa, but so hard to find a desk chair that doesn't look like it came from a corporate office?

1:09:25Most office chairs look like they belong in a sad cubicle, not in a thoughtfully designed home. They're bulky, overly technical, and can completely throw off the look of the room. That's why I like Eureka Ergonomic. Their leather office chairs reimagine what executive seating can look like, with a modern furniture-inspired design, clean silhouettes, premium leather finishes, and a refined aesthetic that actually elevates the room. So instead of feeling like a random office chair you dragged into your home, it feels like a piece that belongs with the rest of your furniture. Eureka Ergonomic. Finally, an office chair that works hard and looks like it belongs.

Do we have wood? Is this table wood?
